Members of Congress are reconvening for a 10 p.m. vote as Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) makes a 14th attempt at securing the speaker’s gavel after losing 14 in a row.
During the 12th round of voting, he managed to peel off 13 of the 20 Republican holdouts, with a 14th, Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) being peeled off in the 13th round. McCarthy can only afford to lose four Republicans.
Despite the 13 chastening defeats, McCarthy struck an optimistic tune on Friday afternoon, telling reporters he is convinced that “when we come back tonight, we’ll have the votes to get this done once and for all.”
The six Republicans still choosing not to vote for McCarthy earlier on Friday were Rep.-elect Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., Rep.-elect Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., Rep.-elect Eli Crane, R-Ariz., Rep.-elect Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., Rep.-elect Bob Good, R-Va., and Rep.-elect Matt Rosendale, R-Mont.
